Scribd | Software Engineers | San Francisco, Toronto, Amsterdam | ONSITE or REMOTE | VISA

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. A year ago we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality, communication, and hacking skills than what languages and technologies you’ve used so far.

We are hiring software engineers across the board (see https://www.scribd.com/careers), including:

* The Core Infrastructure team is looking for Site Reliability and Infrastructure Engineers to help in our shift from a traditional operations model to a service-oriented organization. This team provides key components to our backend technology stack such as: container orchestration infrastructure, logging services, monitoring and alerting patterns, caching layers, and relational/non-relational clustered data storage. Remote / Canada: https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/503a16da-a319-42f6-9c73-ee2a6e5... - San Francisco: https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/6267a119-7ffe-4d84-984a-29fe94b...

* The Content Engineering team is in need of both software engineers and senior software engineers, onsite in our new San Francisco office, onsite in our Toronto office, or remote within the United States. The Content Engineering team was newly formed with the dual mission to own and update Scribd's existing content metadata pipeline and build new metadata that can be used by the search, recommendations, data science, and frontend teams to build more useful and intelligent features. Experience with Rails, Spark, and SQL databases are a plus but not required. Excitement for the opportunity to scale our many data pipelines in support of Scribd's growth is required.

We have hired many people from these HN threads, including myself (back in 2012!). If you have specific questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to our roles - recruiters/agencies: please do not contact me).

Lumicks | C++ & Python Developers | Amsterdam, NL | FULL-TIME, ONSITE, VISA | lumicks.com

Lumicks is bringing novel tools for single-molecule biophysics and cell avidity to market, enabling scientific researchers across biology and medicine to unlock new types of experiments.

Our primary technology, C-Trap, can be used to "grab" a single molecule, and apply precise mechanical forces to it. At the same time, one can visualize the molecule using highly-sensitive fluorescence microscopy. Our customers use it to watch DNA being copied by the molecular machinery of the cell, or observe molecular "engines" walking across the scaffolding structures of a human cell. Lumicks systems are currently in use in opinion-leading labs across the globe, including Stanford, Johns Hopkins University, Tsinghua University, NIH, Max Planck Institute, TU Delft, and Imperial College London.

We also produce z-Movi, the only instrument that can directly measure the overall strength of interaction between cells ("avidity"). This new technology, based on acoustic waves, could have an enormous impact on research in immunology, paving the way for new therapies for cancer.

We're an academic spin-off from a research group at VU University Amsterdam. We care deeply about providing our users with easy-to-use, reliable software that actively supports Open Data and Reproducible Science. To make this happen, we're looking to expand our software engineering team with additional:

- C++ developers -- https://lumicks.com/vacancies/c-software-developer/

- Python developers -- https://lumicks.com/vacancies/python-developer/

We use the following technologies. When applying, it's fine to be familiar with a subset of these:

C++17 for the core code, Qt5 for the UI and Python 3 for bindings. CMake builds everything. Libraries we use include abseil, asio, caf (C++ actor framework), catch2, cereal, fmt, hdf5/highfive, opencv, ranges-v3 and spdlog. Our GUIs are a mix of Qt widgets and QML (we are migrating torwards the latter). Our Python bindings are implemented using pybind11.

For Python, we use Python 3 with the usual scientific Python stack: scipy, numpy, matplotlib, h5py, jupyter.

On the hardware side, we have lasers. Lots and lots of lasers.

Secfi | Software engineer(s) + Operations and Finance | Amsterdam, the Netherlands + San Francisco | EUR 50-150k + equity

Secfi is a VC-backed fintech start-up that helps start-ups and employees better manage equity compensation. We do this by providing shareholders of private companies with liquidity so that they can exercise their options or access capital for personal use. We build technology products that help private company employees make the most of their equity and make more informed decisions. By simplifying their equity compensation, employees can spend more time on things they love doing most. We have offices in Amsterdam and San Francisco.

For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options.

The tax planning tool inside our dashboard does just that: https://www.secfi.com/#gif-container

An exciting challenge we’re working on next is an exercise planning tool that tells you what you should do with your equity based on your personal. Things have been going very well here at Secfi, and we’re looking to add 10 more people to our Amsterdam engineering team.

We have a variety of engineering vacancies including a VP of engineering, frontend, backend Python and full stack JavaScript engineers: https://www.secfi.com/careers
